I'm up to ~12 miles now!!

You ever have one of those days when you feel like you can do anything? Today, although it was freeeezing outside (27 degrees), it was gorgeous: nice and sunny, bright blue skies with no clouds and only a light breeze. I started out with the intention of running 16k but when I hit that mark, I felt like I had a little more in me yet. Had my face not felt numb and my ears not been stinging (and had I not started feeling a little light-headed from dehydration), I might have run a true half marathon! I gotta admit, a BIG part of my motivation is to beat this guy (who goes by the screen name of smythmeister) in this virtual challenge of who can run the most miles/kilometers in 30 days. It's posted on the Nike+ site and he and I have been the two leaders (in a group of 9 or 10) for the entire challenge so far, which ends tomorrow, 2/17/08 at midnight. It's still a very close race and either one of us could win it. I'll keep y'all posted on who wins tomorrow. Here's my run:
